Klein Tools 53725 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Klein 53725 cut 3/8-inch MC cable, and what cable types does it handle?
The Klein Tools 53725 armored cable cutter takes BX, AC, MC, MCAP and Greenfield armored cable up to 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) diameter. Anything larger than 3/8-inch is past its capacity, so for oversized or heavy-wall armor you need a different cutting method.
2) How do you keep an armored cable cutter from nicking the conductors inside?
Depth control is the whole point of the 53725. The cutter adjusts between standard MC and reduced diameter MC so the blade only bites the armor, not the insulated conductors underneath. Set the depth for the cable you are cutting, give the handle a couple of turns, then check the cut end for burrs before pulling wire.
3) What replacement blade does the Klein 53725 armored cable cutter take?
Replacement blades are Klein Cat. No. 53726SEN. The tool ships with one blade already stored in the handle, and the handle holds up to six blades total, so a crew can carry spares in the tool rather than in the truck.
4) Is this armored cable cutter small enough to use in a crowded panel or junction box?
Overall length is 7.25 inches (18.4 cm) with a 4.75 inch (12.1 cm) handle, and it is about 1 inch in height and width, so it works one-handed in tight panel and box work. It weighs 2.0 lb (0.9 kg), which is noticeable on a tool belt all day but gives you something to hold onto while turning the handle.
5) Should I use a rotary armored cable cutter or just cut BX with a hacksaw or side cutters?
A rotary cutter like the 53725 scores the armor with a depth-limited blade so the conductors are not touched and the cut leaves no burrs. A hacksaw or diagonal cutters give you metal filings in the box and sharp edges that shave insulation when you pull the wire. For repeat MC and BX work, the rotary tool with a set depth is the faster and cleaner route.
6) Can I use the Klein 53725 on energized armored cable?
No. This is a mechanical cutting tool with no insulation rating, and the manufacturer instructions say never to use it on or near live circuits. De-energize and verify dead first, and wear approved eye protection while cutting.
7) Will one cutter cover both standard MC and reduced-diameter MC on a mixed job?
Yes. The depth adjustment on the 53725 is specifically for switching between standard MC and reduced diameter MC, so a maintenance or rough-in crew carrying one tool can handle both without swapping tools. The same tool also covers BX, AC, MCAP and Greenfield up to 3/8-inch.
